Hello angel enthusiasts! It's the end of week three, time for our weekly recap. Here are all the pins that we have funded, now including the BG3 pins!
And our next funding goal is the Eldritch Saints recolors at $16K. Remember, if these are funded during the campaign, backers can pledge for them at the discounted price of $15 instead of the preorder price of $16-18. If we don't reach this goal, these designs will be available to unlock in the survey/preorder store based on order quantity per design.
And finally in campaign news, I finished the artwork for the freebie postcard! I tried something new and made it in a lineless style. For this piece I was inspired by the Chicxulub Asteroid, which caused the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event - aka. extinction of the dinosaurs.
Next week is the final week of the campaign, ending on Thursday, April 18. Backerkit will be sending out an automated reminder (if you've pledged to other Pintopia campaigns, be prepared for those), and I'll follow up with one last recap as well.
Looking Ahead
I thought I'd share a little bit of my crowdfunding plans. If you haven't heard already, my next campaign after Angelology IV will be Pride Angels, you can read about it on its pre-launch page. I'd like to launch it during June, which is Pride Month, but that might overlap with Angelology IV so I'll see how things go!
After that I'm not too sure what, if any, pin campaign I'll run next. I have two ideas but I'm trying to decide if it's better to self-fund a small amount of pins, open preorders or a pin club, or run crowdfunding campaigns instead. Since you all have backed this campaign I'm going to assume you like crowdfunding, but you can give your input in the comments. Or vote in the poll I published!
Anyway, my two ideas are:
Themed Monster Enamel Pins - monsters themed after different aesthetics such as Victorian Gothic, Rococo, Medieval, etc. If you saw my Cowboy and Film Noir Monsters pins, this campaign would be in the same vein as those, and those pins would be made available in new colors.
Blood and Holy Water - vampire and angel themed pins. I feel like there's shared imagery between vampires and angels and it would be neat to make pins for that. I'll be working on these during this year's Angeltober. (What is Angeltober you might be asking? It is my annual October art challenge themed after angels. You can find the previous prompts here: 2021, 2022, 2023)
Which idea sounds more appealing? Do you prefer crowdfunding or another method of funding pins? Let me know in the comments or this poll if you'd like :))
